The moment US citizens actually miss the good old days with Bush....

Trump is going to make Bush smell like roses after the shit-turd of his presidency is over. This is only 6 months in, it will get a lot shittier and dumber than this.

The reaction from the video shows why the media has such low credibility.

People can simulate murdering Trump but this funny video is treated as dangerous? This makes really glad Trump is president. Shows how fucked up the media is.

I think we all know the media is ruined from the left/right wars. No one is offended by the video when you disregard the people who'll obviously be offended (sjw's).

The issue is that this man is wasting his time on Twitter and always acts like a child. Should we remind everyone of when he complained about an SNL skit? The man should at least do something useful or nice for once. I mean, Obama and Michelle always made sure they tried to be healthy and promote exercise. 

In all seriousness, I would love for Trump to do something along those lines. Whether if it'd be awareness for people with sicknesses/disabilities or promoting a good cause, reasonable people would definitely appreciate him using his power for good. Sure, there'll obviously always be haters, but it's not as if I (and many others) like to hate on him for no reason. I said countless times before he was inaugurated that I will always be open to accepting him if he's a decent president and leader

Oh, I agree the guy does waste time and makes some dumb comments on twitter. But I encourage him to push back on unfair media, as Obama had a tendency do from time to time.

I'm not opposed to promoting healthier lifestyles, but Michelle should have told fat people they're burdens on insurance. Show some tough love.

Trump has donated money to good casuses. Is that worth nothing? Actually, don't answer. I'm sure there will be a negative spin.

You mean like taking money intended for cancer-striken children?

You're right. You shouldn't have asked. As with most things Trump there's a lot of ugly the closer you look at his cheap, phony reality TV facade.

Aside from the "attack of the media" this is just childish. Screw the Russia investigation and botched healthcare. A president who hasn't anything better to do than use his twitter to do this should not hold any office ever.

Eh... if the media wasn't so corrupt and left wing then maybe you would have a point. They aggresively go after the right and we're kinda glad to see them challenged. Its also showing how bias our media is, Trump in general has hurt their credibility.

I used to think the twitter thing was a waste of time, but the media loves it and it allows him to respond to unfair media. Without it he might just be a punching bag as Bush was.

Yet nothing was said about 8 years of Fox News going on and on about Obama or making Hilary's stupid emails into the end of the world. 

So what if CNN isn't "nice" to Trump? Fuck him and the horse he climbed in on. That's part of being president, he should grow the fuck up and stop being bothered like a little child over any criticism. The media is not required to be "Trump friendly" besides he gets his asshole licked on Fox News all day, so if you want that echo chamber just change the channel. What is so hard about that?

Trump is the greatest thing to happen to Bush's legacy. He will make Bush look 10x better by the time he is through with the gong show stupidity of his tenure.

"Fighting fire with fire" especially in the currently trash tier political discourse is simply unprofessional. As is saying "but but but other people are mean too!"

So far I haven't seen any politician in the US, be it left or right, sink as low as the current president who has been lowering the bar for professional conduct every week since he ran for office.

This is only like six months in lol. This is just going to be a never ending clown show with him.

CNN has mostly destroyed its reputations as its engaged in fake news...and has spent nearly a week on a meme and acting like a crybaby.

I do agree media should blast Trump but it should do like NYT and others and not sink to the same level as Trump.

By the speed it's progressing so far the next election will be decided by a battle royale between members of congress.

So what is Fox News engaged in? 24/7 dihearrea? I never heard any peep from anyone that they were overblowing Hilary's emails.

It is actually fairly dangerous that a president is injecting himself into a free democratic press, because basically really what "fake news" means coming from Trump is essentially "any news I don't like". Which is extremely dangerous to any democracy when the elected officials start censoring any view points they don't like. 

Which is really IMO what this is all about. Trump wants a "phony war" with the media to allow for only coverage that is favorable to him.
